That will get you in trouble too, because those hand cleaners have a “gritty” additive and it’ll scratch the tint for sure.
I go the extra mile with all my customers, most of the time they don’t even know ( I don’t tell them) but when they have “anything” stuck on the inside and there’s tint my answer is “I can’t remove it without damaging the tint” and that’s it.
Ah you got me on that one…I do realize the hand cleaners as of late have that gritty additive that will definitely scratch the tint. I wasn’t thinking about hand cleaners when typing “hand detergents”. I meant detergents that you can use to wash dishes with your hands like dawn or ajax. Hand detergents [COLOR=“Black”]do not[/COLOR] have “gritty” additives because they will scratch glass as well, but if you are referring to hand cleaners you are indeed right. (Sorry…my oversight).
We’ve had stuff on tint before and we usually say the same thing as you do, “I can’t remove it without damaging the tint”. We don’t even try removing adhesives of tint 99% of time unless it disolves from regular washing, due to the fact the adhesive can pull the tint off or part of the coloring off.
ditto that…Ive always had luck w/razor(make sure you keep window wet)…not crazy about oil flo… Welcome:)
Oh, and if you’re using a razor get a waiver signed every time!
[I][B]Acetone[/B][/I] from [I]Kleen Strip[/I] works really well on removing adhesives from glass, it’s not only safe but it doesn’t leave any film/haze.
FYI, always test whatever chemical you use in a inconspicus corner of the glass, before covering any large area(s)
Re: Acetone
This message is from Harv Berger at Titan Laboratories, maker of Oil-Flo Safety Solvent Cleaner.
- The mention of using acetone is scary. Acetone has a flashpoint of about -5 Deg F, and is extremely flammable. It will readily ignite at room temperature.
- In case of fire your insurance will probably not cover the damage.
- It is harmful to window film and to gelcoat.
- It burns with a blue flame. IBM banned the material used in clean rooms where they make winchester computer drives. A tech using acetone caught fire, and didn’t know it until he smelled his skin burning. They switched to Oil-Flo with a flashpoint over 100 deg F.

Yes we do have samples for anyone interested.
How can I order a sample of oil-flo. I would like to try it.
I agree with Chris. It’s oil flow.
I just looked on the wd40 website and they say it will remove adhesive and that it is safe on plastics. Has anyone tried that avenue on tint?
